Turkish Box Office 2013: Questions & Answers

The chart's numbers in short: the #1 film, the total, the billion-dollar hits and the US & Canada share, answered from the same 22 films as the chart.

What is the highest-grossing Turkish-language movie in 2013?

Celal and Ceren (2013) leads with $17M worldwide. Next come The Butterfly’s Dream (2013) at $11M and Water and Fire (2013) at $5.9M.

How many Turkish-language movies released in 2013 made $1 billion?

None. The biggest, Celal and Ceren (2013), earned $17M.

How is the 2013 Turkish box office chart ranked and where do the numbers come from?

Films are ranked by lifetime worldwide gross in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and grouped by their release date in 2013. The figures are the reported box office grosses in our database. A gross that looks misattributed, such as one figure shared by two unrelated films or a blockbuster total on an obscure title, is left out rather than shown as a fact, and so are films whose stored language is most likely wrong.

How often is the 2013 Turkish box office chart updated?

Grosses change while films are in theaters and whenever a new figure is reported; this chart reads the latest numbers in our database, so an older film can still move after a re-release.
